Take a Deep Breath and Watch the Latest ‘T2: Trainspotting’ Trailer

T2: Trainspotting is the surprise sequel that no one saw coming, but is welcome all the same. What have Mark, Spud, and the rest of the gang been up to for all these years? What kind of vibe will this movie have, now that they’ve all seemingly given up their drug-pushing ways and are committed to detoxing? According to all the trailers, this one no exception, four sober blokes can get up to just as much trouble now as they used to.

It’s so weird, watching this trailer, to be tossed right back into that room with the trains on the walls, hearing these guys talking about heroin and addiction, only encouraging each other to try going in the opposite direction. And everything seems to be going according to plan, until, of course, fate pushes these four back together again. Sure, enjoying life is great, but it looks like one can enjoy life a little too much.

First there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal.

Twenty years have gone by. Much has changed but just as much remains the same. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to the only place he can ever call home.

Other old friends are waiting too: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger, they are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.
